Chapter 198: Chapter 96: Flood Submerges the City, Incense Becomes a Blade

Zhou Jihai said beside him, "Mr. Ruihe, why not stay here and guard? It’s really not wise to go out now."

Li Xuan glanced at his sworn younger brother, feeling that this little guy was really sharp.

However, he had already prepared his excuse, and just whispered, "This place will soon be flooded, with rooftops turning into flatlands, and beneath it all being water, filled with these kinds of fish."

Zhou Jihai said, "Then you should gather everyone and leave together."

Li Xuan replied, "I was instructed by Prince Qing to only take care of you, Commandery Princess Chunyang, the guardian, and the guardian’s descendants. I can’t concern myself with the others."

Seeing Zhou Jihai wanting to say more, he suddenly clenched his fist.

White vapor rose from the fist.

Commandery Princess Chunyang looked on in astonishment. She knew this was the power of a Secret Martial Arts practitioner, yet even Zhou Eli couldn’t display power of such level.

By clenching his fist, Li Xuan was telling them, if I had ill intentions, would I need to make excuses?

The beautiful woman glanced at the rain outside, and the rain on the ground, saying, "Then we’ll leave with Mr. Ruihe."

As she spoke, she quickly left a written note, and then took the two children to follow Li Xuan out the door.

The rest of the Zhou family hurriedly hid in the house, no longer daring to step out.

Li Xuan led the three to a place with no people, and suddenly said, "I can take you away directly, but you must cover your eyes with cloth, and if you don’t want to die suddenly, absolutely do not open them."

Commandery Princess Chunyang said, "At this point, we rely entirely on Mr. Ruihe’s arrangements."

Without another word, Li Xuan tore off a piece of his clothing, first wrapping two circles around the youngsters, then wrapping one around Commandery Princess Chunyang.

Then he carried the rather small Zhou Yanmei, saying, "Hold tightly to my neck, don’t let go, don’t open your eyes."

Then he quickly lit incense, holding it between his teeth.

The incense smoke weaved forth, creating a small golden path stretching towards the horizon.

Li Xuan grabbed Zhou Jihai’s hand with one hand, and Commandery Princess Chunyang’s hand with the other.

Commandery Princess Chunyang hadn’t been touched by a man for a long time, and even just a handshake now ignited a strange warmth in her heart.

However, Li Xuan didn’t notice at all.

Cyan Wood Province was very likely to become a place of carnage today. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The surroundings were already covered by rain.

He had to take people away; transforming into a rainbow was the fastest way.

Li Xuan certainly wanted to hide his strength.

But in such a situation, he didn’t hold back his hand.

Rainbow light streaked across, breaking through the air...

Each landing tightened Li Xuan’s brows even more.

He had completely underestimated the range of the rain domain.

And when they returned to Xiongshan County, he was utterly stunned.

Because Xiongshan County was also within the rain domain.

The rain was pouring heavily from the sky, although not as crazily as Cyan Wood Province, still, it wasn’t small.

Luckily, no fish were seen nearby.

Li Xuan landed with the three at the end of a deserted stone path, pulling the cloth from their eyes, and pointed to the mansion not far away, saying, "That’s Prince Qing’s Mansion, go straight to knock on the door, reveal your identity, and someone will come to meet you."

Zhou Jihai exclaimed, "Here... we’ve reached Xiongshan County? How... is this possible?"

Zhou Yanmei blinked her eyes, saying, "Uncle, are you a deity?"

Uncle?

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he deliberately appeared older now.

Commandery Princess Chunyang looked at the "Prince Qing’s Mansion" words on the distant mansion, softly saying, "Mr. Ruihe, thank you..."

Her voice was tender, with a slight reddening of her cheeks.

Li Xuan said, "Go ahead, I still have a mission."

Commandery Princess Chunyang unexpectedly obediently responded, then told the two children, "Haven’t you thanked Uncle yet?"

Zhou Yanmei straightforwardly said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Zhou Jihai glanced at his mother, his expression shifting slightly.

As a genius, he would always notice the budding of many things and would react the fastest.

He didn’t express thanks, but instead asked, "Uncle, are you really from Prince Qing’s Mansion?"

Li Xuan nodded.

Zhou Jihai suddenly asked, "Does Uncle have a wife?"

Li Xuan: ???

Commandery Princess Chunyang: ???

"You little rascal." The Commandery Princess suddenly scolded with anger.

However, the phrase "You little rascal," had only the first two words uttered angrily, while the latter two words softened, as if she didn’t wish to show a bad side at this moment and place.

The beautiful woman’s hair was slightly disheveled, tucking her chin down, saying, "Letting Mr. Ruihe laugh at us."

Li Xuan understood immediately and lightly said, "I have."

After speaking, he turned and walked away.

He always knew that Aunt Yun was quite lonely, but Aunt Yun adhered strictly to the rites, apart from that one rather misplaced occasion after getting drunk, the rest of their interactions, despite being close, never crossed any boundaries.

But now, Aunt Yun saw such a capable man, seemingly of her age, and was even held by the hand, perhaps her heart was moved.

And Zhou Jihai, this cunning little guy, directly saw through his mother’s thoughts, and even boldly asked for help.

Yet Li Xuan’s wife was pregnant, how could he engage in silliness with an older female relative by his family title in front of his home? Even using another identity, he was not inclined.

On the other side, the beautiful woman pretended nothing happened, quickly urging the two children towards Prince Qing’s Mansion.

Suddenly, Zhou Jihai said, "He might not have a wife."

The beautiful woman said, "You child, what nonsense are you talking!"

Zhou Jihai closed his mouth immediately, waiting until they knocked on the door of Prince Qing’s Mansion, someone came to greet them.

...

...

Li Xuan reverted to his original appearance. After meeting with Commandery Princess Chunyang, he hurried to bed to rest.

It felt like a time when studies were extremely busy; aside from eating and studying, any other time was spent sleeping.

Continuous transformation and prayer made him very tired at this moment.

He slept until dawn the next day, saw that it was still raining, and hurriedly got up and sat on the bed.

Tian Yuan’s delicate hand reached over, gently pressing on his arm, saying, "So early?"
